When I was a kid the WS was something special. All games were in the afternoon and in grammar school the teachers would bring radios to the classroom and we would listen to the games while doing some kind of light schoolwork.
What has happened is there is just too much other things going on right now, cable TV has given you 150-200 other things to watch instead of watching 2 teams you don't even care about.
I have no idea what the answer is but compared to the Super Bowl the WS is a joke and that's coming from a guy who never watches football.
